The results of unique observations of total solar eclipse March 29, 2006 using large radio telescope RATAN-600 are presented. The observations were made during maximal phase of the eclipse as passage of the Sun through the multi wavelength diagram patterns of the radio telescope. Two methods of records with different azimuth angles were used in the range from 1cm to 50 cm. During maximal eclipse coverage by Moon, only the fine part of the optical disk with width about 1-3$^\prime$$^\prime$ from the North Pole was opened. The valuable information was received due to absence of scattered solar emission, which allowed to realize the high sensitivity at several tens wavelengths simultaneously. It was discovered: the microwave source which situated at the North Pole at short centimeter wavelengths; its fine small-scale structure; the detail microwave spectrum of northern coronal hole; the spectral-polarization features of high-latitude prominence and the data about scattered coronal emission in wide microwave range.
